Azeron keypad, To be approved for eSports

Hi there.

I recently wanted to start scriming and playing competitive Apex.

Due to health reasons I can't use keyboard and use the product Azeron Keypad.

Asking a local open league organization, they got in contact with officials to ask if this is allowed.

Unfortunately this was denied as they believe it will give a competitive edge.which I can accept as it has a feature where it can change the joystick from keyboard input to Controller input.

But my understanding is the Azeron does not give any aim assist. But I'm not a technical expert so my word is not reliable.

I believe that if a controller is allowed in professional eSports with aim assist, then why is the Azeron not allowed using keyboard input.

The advantage of using a ergonomic keypad over a normal keyboard is not that much. It only really gives you more stability in the arm and hand. Not as much stress on muscles and ligaments.

For me I find using a joystick movement over keys can be and advantage or disadvantage. I find the movement a little bit slower then keys. But at the same time it has a nice flow to it. 

I guess the only disadvantage I see is what I'm currently struggling with. If it was able to only have a keyboard input mode then I feel it would be accepted.

Is there anyone else that uses a ergonomic keypad, that could fill me in on the technical side of them specially with the whole aim assist. 

Thanks 🙏 I appreciate any responses 

My understanding
